A series of scheduled highway enhancement works to Victoria Way have been brought forward to commence from Monday (March 20).

A Woking Borough Council spokesperson explained: "In preparation for construction work to Victoria Square beginning in the summer, the A320 will also be adapted between Church Street West and Victoria Arch to provide construction loading and unloading facilities that will minimise future disruption to road users once building works begin."

It was added that two pedestrian crossings by Toys R Us and the former Woking Market site will be removed and replaced with temporary crossings.

The current diversion route and traffic restrictions along Victoria Way will remain in place until Thursday (May 11).
